Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
I hope these guys get a rework soon, the landing takes forever and you can't use anything else while using them, however if you need sap ASAP tame one, set on wander, and put it next to a tree in the Redwoods, they'll instantly climb up and overtime collect a good amount of it. If either you have the same opinion or find this helpful (or both), please up.
Fun fact, archaeopteryx was very important for it was the creature that confirmed the theory of birds being linked to dinosaurs. 🙂
Careful not to confuse these with a microraptor. One will flee in fear, the other will rko you and eat your face
IS AN ARCHAEOPTERYX WORTH IT?
Well…..
It is in my opinion cause it’s a very easy tame and good glider. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME GETTING A PARACHUTE! These are very fun! However getting down from one is difficult,But otherwise get one very easy. Steps below
1. Get a bow and a tranq arrow
2. Get 1 narcotic 1-5 for levels
3. Kill a scorpion and get the chitin
4. Knock out and feed chitin
5. You have a living parachute
So now you what good it is, it has downsides as well:
Very hard to get down.
The place it is located is very hard and dangerous.
BUT. They can collect sap and other stuff.
Is it worth it? YES IT IS!
I forgot to mention this but it is found in the redwoods.

I see the Otter God, the Jerboa King and the Defender of Bulbdogs made an early move. Now I the Archaeopteryx Lord shall rise. If any one of you guys kill these birbs I will look for you and feed your soul to the ravenous birbs I own. So if you see one my birbs Naruto running away for you, DO NOT kill it instead be its friend, they are a great parachute and they are wholesome creatures to begin with. So you have be warned by the Archaeopteryx Lord...
Fun fact: Archaeopteryx means “ancient wing”

The Archaeopteryx is a tree-dwelling bird-like dinosaur. While its smaller frame make it unfit for riding, it is strong enough to carry humans, allowing them to glide across long distances. Taming an Archaeopteryx is no simple task, as it will immediately flee when approached, and once knocked out, it prefers to eat rare insect matter.
What does a Archaeopteryx eat? In ARK: Survival Evolved, the Archaeopteryx eats Simple Kibble, Pelagornis Kibble, and Chitin.
